just give them what they want. they fight fire, god **** FIRE for a living. at the age of 60 the body can not do all the jobs safely anymore as they could when they where younger. And that puts people at risk.. I'm sure they know what they can do better than central government what physical feats a 60 year old body can do.

Agreed Moleogod, but 60 year olds do not need to be firefighting. The Fire Service has now set itself up to be more than just a fire service. Its employees are out and about in the community giving home and road safety advice, even cycling advice, and everything else it seems to think it is a font of all knowledge on. Its even opening an education centre in Lymm. Surely all this should be covered by its older employees (who by definition should have more experience) leaving the younger, fitter members to actually firefight.

But where do you stop, what if they get what they want but then want more? Yes they do a great job but so do a lot of people, people that would get sacked if they went on strike.

This is a daft article.
Surely people should take care at home and on the roads at all times, not just when there is a strike on.
What is the world coming to when people have to be warned to be careful!?
